Narušení děje

Literatura a život mají společného jmenovatele: příběh. Píšou se sedmdesátá léta a William „Mole Man“ Lyttle vykope v tunelu pod svým domem větu, která nezvratně ovlivní chod světa. „Naše životy už nám nepřipadají jako příběhy.“ Protagonistkou autofikčního románu je třiatřicetiletá Emma, která se snaží porozumět svým českým kořenům, vyrovnat se se smrtí matky a najít odpovědi na otázky okolo zmizení své partnerky. Historie okolo ní neplyne, naopak se hromadí a tříští. Mezi pozůstatky se katastroficky zvedá vodní hladina a sílí požáry. Emma se jimi prodírá ve snaze poodejít od lásky, ve které se vítězí a prohrává. V jejím vyprávění docházíme na konec společně či každý po svém, příběh zůstává. Stejně jako otázka, zda vyprávění může člověku pomoci vyrovnat se s tragickými událostmi.

Het begin en zijn oneindigheid

Op hoge leeftijd is Marcel met een depressie in een psychiatrisch ziekenhuis beland, waar zijn kleindochter jaren eerder ook verbleef, op de afdeling eetstoornissen. Ze komt hem dikwijls opzoeken en bespreekt haar vragen in een radiodocumentaire. In hoeverre kies je zelf wie je bent? Wat is een Verward Persoon? Hoe erfelijk is ontregeling, en wat is de oorzaak ervan? Wanneer begint herstel en belangrijker, wanneer eindigt het? Corinne Heyrman vertelt het verhaal van de grootvader, zijn kleindochter, familieleden en andere patiënten in het ziekenhuis, waarmee ze de complexiteit en de vele gezichtspunten van psychische kwetsbaarheid vol verbeeldingskracht en inlevingsvermogen ontleedt.

La rinnegata

A story of three generations of women, their courage and search for independence in the face of superstition and prejudice, in the spirit of Natalia Ginzburg and Elena Ferrante. In this striking debut, based on a true story, Valeria Usala bears witness to an age-old story of violence against women and takes us into the heart of rural Sardinia, where superstitions and cruelty coexist with the joys and companionship of a tight-knit community. Teresa runs a shop and a tavern. But not even the family she has created with the man she loves can protect her from the malicious gossip of jealous locals, who are threatened by her independence. Her own mother, Maria, was made an outcast, and now Teresa is in turn forsaken by the villagers. Will she pay for her success with her life? Is she like a character in Greek tragedy, whose destiny is inevitable? A story that gives voice to the forgotten women of Sardinia—and to the one of women everywhere.

Dagen als vreemde symptomen

Sisyphus doolt door de hel met een lege rolstoel en weet niet precies wat ze daar te zoeken heeft, behalve dat ze haar dochter, die meervoudig beperkt is, moet ophalen uit het dagcentrum. Een missie die telkens mislukt, waarna ze teleurgesteld terugkeert naar de aftandse benedenwoning van een zonderling appartementencomplex. Wanneer haar hospita schijnbaar uit het niets een praatje met haar aanknoopt, begint ze zich plotseling dingen te herinneren. Dagen als vreemde symptomen is een gevecht tegen de verveling, een zoektocht naar de grenzen van het moederschap, van hoop en radeloosheid, van leven en dood.

Questo sangue masticato

In his debut novel, Francesco Aloia comes to terms with the past and his family, keeping his grandmother Ada's teachings firmly in mind. After leaving home and finding his own path, he returns to the places of his childhood during a summer and confronts a particularly "overbearing" grandfather, Tanino 'e Bastimento, a man of honor who, after a couple of murders and many years in prison, after challenging a Camorra boss, now must face one final duel "in absentia"—this time with his grandson.
